Are Inf and NaN going to be standard in Perl 6? As long as we're traveling down that road, how about i (the square root of -1), or Lukasiwiscean Null? (Sorry if I sound sarcastic, I'm actually honestly curious.) My inner Larry Wall is right now saying that there needs to be a more generalized solution to all this. OK, here's one. By default, anything/0 throws an exception. However, you can load modules to handle those exceptions, substituting Inf, NaN, or whatever as the evaluation of the expression. -Miko -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
